Of SHIP NEWS. er DOVER, DEC. 20.—Yesterday, about 3 r. as., the Chichester packet, Captain RUTTER, arrived here from Calais with his Excellency Lord CAS TLEREAGH, his Lady and suite, after a difficult Passage, owing to the uncertainty of the weather. She 'packet sailed from Calais on Friday after noon, about 4 P. M., with a favourable wind, which after some time died away to a calm, and about six o'clock it began to blow hard to the N. E., which increased during the night, with a tremendous sea : in shifting jibs the packet ',itched away her bowsprit, and the Mate unfortu natelybad his thigh broken, while employed in se curing the broken spar to set a smaller sail on the stump, which with some difficulty was ef fected, and the packet, after being diiven down as far as Dungeness. Light, arrived without any further accident. His Lordship and Lady CAS TLEREAGH were on deck in their carriage, but happily received no injury, only being rather alarmed, and, after getting dinner at WRIGHT'S Hotel, set off on their journey to London, about right at night, intending to sleep at Canterbury. The Transport Yacht, which also came to sea the Same tide, encountered the gale, and carried away her bowsprit also, but without any person be ing hurt. She brought over the Marquis of WOE.. CESTER.

About nine o'clock the premling livening, it blowing very hard at N.W., the Packet carried away her bowsprit, by which acci *lent the Captain's nephew, a very fine young ritho. and Mate of the vessel, had one of his thigh s broken. It was nearly 20 hours before he Ilias landed and the fracture reduced, but he is doing very well—the packet, being hut a little distance from the French coast when she carried her bowsprit Away, and it bloWing strong upon the land, was in some danger. Lord and Lady tASTLEREAGH, after dining at the Ship rim, sat off for town about nine in the evening. This 41 0 i-fling his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON ar rived in the Lord Duncan packet, Capt. RANSIL..

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS; We find that we were mistaken in stating, on Monday last, that, in consequence of . the death of one of the proprietors of The Leeds Intelli 7 gencer; that Paper had wholly devolved into new hands, as we understand that the property in question remains in the same family, and has only parted with its former Editor. That Editor, it seems, is about to found a Journal of his own. We re gret the separation that has taken place on this occasion, as we often had occasion to admire his talents, and to approve of his political conduct. But we repeat our satisfaction in bearing that the augmented opulence and extensive population of the respectable town 'of LEEDS %via admit •of a third Journal ; mid if a coalition between the par ties is no longer practicable, we trust to see The Intelligeneer conducted upon the same loyal prin ciples, and that it will at least co-operate with the projected publication in counteracting the baneful efforts of a Jacobinical Rival, that seems chiefly to delight in the excitement and diffision of discontent.

Our Market was well supplied with Wheat this morning from Essex, Kent. and Suffolk, exclu sive of a very considerable quantity that remained over from last week's arrivals from the above Counties, besides large arrivals from Abroao, and having but little demand, the sales were excee& ingly heavy at a decline of 2s. per quarter from last Monday's prices. Fine English Barley is Is. per qUarter cheaper, but the inferior qualities could not be got off at 2s. per quarter under the prices of this day week.

To THE PUBLIC.-1 have long borne in silence the reports circulated to my disadvantage ; hut there is a 'period when patience ceases to he a virtue, and forbearance is criminal. The preju dice which threatens to overwhelm me, and con sequent difficulty I experience in obtaining.' ho nourable employment, imperatively demand that I enter on my jubtification. COPY OF MRS. GLOVER'S DECLARATION, ,DATED AUG. 22, 1818. Mr. Pollock (Scrjeant's Inn) having asserted in Court, that ray husband, Mr. Samuel Glower, had "deserted his wife and children," I do here, in justice to Mr. Glover, state that it is without foundation. The separation was on my part,-occasioned by a numerous increasing family and great pecuniary difficulties. Signed in the presence Of} Solicitor. JULIA GLOVER. Samuel Keene. COPY OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN MR. AND MRS. GLOVER, DATED AUG. 22, 1818. It is agreed between Mr. and Mrs. Glover, that Mrs. Glover shall take one half of her professional earnings; the other half to be paid into the bands of some respectable person, to he approved of by both parties, for the purpose of liquidat ing those engagements which Mrs. Glover has contracted. After which, the whole of Mrs. Glover's earnings to he at her disposal, unless she contract further debts ; when one half the salary to be appropriated accordingly. And so long as this agreement is carried into effect. Mr. Glover promises not to interfere with Mrs. Glover's professional engagements. Witness, Samuel Keene, Solicitor, JULIA GLOVER. Princes-street, Reel Lion-square. f SAMUEL GLOVER. On signing the above agreement, Mrs. Glover's salary at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, was released to her, and a trifling sum applied to extricate me from the difficulties into which 1 was plunged ; but so far from " regularly receiving a considerable portion of Mrs. Glover'S weekly salary," the assistance afforded we during the last four years does not ex ceed fifty pounds. It is reported, that " on my marriage I was considerably in debt." True; but my father, through the bands of Edward Thomason, Esq. of Birmingham, paid all demands against me; therefore not owe shilling of Mrs. Glover's salary wa3 appro priated to that purpose. In 1814, after I had been imprisoned six years, an arrange ment with the creditors took place; but the debts contracted by Mrs. Glover during my absence abroad, necessitated me to adopt measures for ensuring my personal safety. Surely there can be but one opinion as to the propriety of the above agree ment. 1 have done more ;—Relying on Mrs. Glover's pro mile to fulfil the engagement, I have assigned over to her the ,right of receiving the whole of her salary at the Theatre Royal, brory-lane, during three years, and flatter myself our unhappy dissensions are elided. _ _ A small part only of Mrs. Glover's salary has been appro priated to defray the expences of our children's education; the schedule in the hands of my assignees proves that I ant still responsible for three-fourths of the amount. It is said, " I have contributed nothing towards the sup port of my family:" the various sums I received since my marriage were very considerable ; particularly during nay im prisonment, when in one instance 5001 was paid me; nine tenths of which, although without a prospect of liberation, I applied to discharge the debts of the most necessitot:s cre ditors—a circumstance sufficient to prove that a principle of honour is not wanting. It wis nut until every effort, personally and by letter, had been in vain exerted to induce Mrs. Glover to return to her duty as a wife, that another connexion took place. During its continuance, and until my departure for France, Mrs. Glover visited and corresponded with are on the most friend ly terms : I accompanied her, as usual, to the houses of her friends, and to places of public amusement. To various branches of my family,. Mrs. Glover frequently, and with truth, declared " she was convinced of my invio lable attachment, and that but for her separation. no other connexion would have taken place." Indeed, were I the cha racter represented, Mrs. Glover would not enable me, as she has honourably done, to repel the odious charge of " desert ing my wife and children." London, Dec. 14, 1818.

FOR THE SUN. NORWICH UNION SOCIETY. EDlTOR,—Knowing that your Paper has a considerable circulation amongst the Country Clergy, many of whom are Members of the LIFE DEPARTMENT of the NORWICH UNION INSURANCE SOCIETY, and consequently feel deeply interested in its stability and prosperity, 1 trust that you will have the goodness to insert the following brief remarks on the proceedings of a Meeting of the London Insurers, held yesterday at the City of London Tavern. The Meeting,was held for the purpose of receiv ing the final Report of the London Committee, a►►d " on other special affairs." It perhaps may be considered by some who were present, that had the' epithet of extraordinary been added to special,,it would not have been altogether inapplicable. The Report of the Committee baying been read, which, in point of fact,confirmed the statements in their former Report of the 25th of September last, which has given the' highest satisfaction to every Member of the Life Branch of the Society— a Member of the Committee rose for the special and extraordinary purpose of attacking the Re port itself, and of censuring the Directors !! ! If he failed in argument he excelled in abuse, of which he was by no means sparing,—" Satis elo quentice sapientice parum." The Gentleman closed his Philippic by stating the necessity of establish ing a New UNION LIFE and FIRE SOCIETY. I presume, Mr. Editor, that this brave plan was the real meaning of " other special affairs." But, Sir, the door of discord being thus once opened, several Gentlemen availed themselves of the opportunity to " let slip the dogs of war,-" " hac fonte derirala clades." Indeed, from the whole of the subsequent proceedings, it appeared to an impartial observer, that the Meeting was assembled for the especial purpose of abusing and reviling each other.—First the Directors were at ... tacked— then the London Committee the George and Vulture Committee next came in for their share of abuse—Alderman TrIORPit had the next quota—and then " last,though not least,"Mr. 131GNoLD, sen., received, to say the truth, his full proportion of rancorous invective. To be sure, one Gentleman did very humanely declare him to be officially defunct, and applied to him that rare and obsolete quotation, " De mortuis nil nisi banum." Now, Sir, it did occur to me, that this adage might, with equal fitness, have been applied to every person present ; for sure I am, that long ere the redoubted newly proposed Society can escape from its leading strings, every man John of us shall be dead and gone. Another quota tion was made by a facetious Gentleman, " Par turient Monies, Sfc. ; which does apply, in a pecu liar degree, to the aforesaid Society in embryo ; for depend on it, Sir, let the worthy Proposer of it labour as lie may, all that he can bring forth must be an abortion, " not so mudi as a mouse." The discussion of these " other special" affairs so entirely engrossed the attention of the Orators, that they wholly lost sight of, or disregarded the main object of the Meeting. It was in vain at tempted to shew, that the Funds of the Society were ample, and the validity of the Securities ,un questionable ; that the Directors are men of talents, and perfectly competent to conduct and contronl an Insursnce Society. All was cla mour, uproar, and confusion. It is indeed possible, .that these same Directors may entertain opinions not altogether in unison with the notions of Ultra Modern Reformers. They, poor country Puts, may perchance enter tain a superstitious veneraliod for Old Laws--s. and especially for that which says," Let very well alone " To he frank, Mr. Editor, lam a lover myself of " Sentences of Old ;" and I would ad. vise every Member of the Norwich Society, ere they desert :the Old Establishment, in order to join an Institution " in nubibus," to beware, lest, by catching at the shadow, they lose the substance," and should have cause to exclaim, when all regret would be useless, " Stauo bene, mai per stare Inegliore sto qui." London, Dec. 19, 1818. A LIFE INSURER. The Emily smack, from Bristol to Plymouth, unfortunately struck on the Rundle Stone, on the 10th instant, whilst endeavouring to reach Mount's Bay, in very thick and rainy weather, which deceived the Captain as to his distance front lam). On sounding the pump immediately after the accident, four feet water were found in the hold, when the Captain, with the view of saving what he could, endeavoured to run the vessel ashore, but the attempt failed, and he had scarcely time with his crew to get' into a boat, belure she entirely sunk. By the aid of some Mount's Bay fishermen they were all safely land ed at Senner Cove. She went to pieces on Wed nesday, and some trilling articles were all that could possibly be saved, notwithstanding the most active exertions. An affray, which was likely to have been attend ed with serious consequences-, occurred about 9 o'clock ou Wednesday evening between the 11th Light Dragoons and 12th Lancers, stationed in Canterbury. It arose out of some reflections cast by the 12th on the character of the 11th while on service in France, and each regiment armed themselves, and were marched in Divisions, under the orders of their non-commissioned Ofli• cers to the scene of action ; and had become re gular combatants, when, by the intervention of the infantry depot, who were called out, the quar rel was suppressed with some loss of blood on both sides. A number of the 12th, forming part of 250 to he disbanded from that regiment, had received their discharge on that day.—(Morning Paper.)
